Worth Flagging up for people...

Took dog to goblin combe Sunday. Shes picked up numerous Ticks.

In reply to Choss:

Fantastic.

And I was hoping to have a tick free climb there in the gap between storms.

Guess I will get my fix on the other side of the river.

In reply to davidbeynon:

Ive been there quite a few days recently and only picked up a couple. Its worth going now before they get worse during the summer, it's bone dry down there as well.

In reply to Choss:

Ugh. Maybe I won't be heading back soon after all.
Nice meeting you ( and Mark ), looking forward to seeing those pics!

Howard

In reply to Hooo:




Pleasure meeting you Two as well. will see how pics come out. That was some flyer...

5 Ticks found on dog so far.

In reply to Choss:

Real shame. I have unfinished business at goblin and want to repeat that route, not necessarily flying wise :-D . It's going to be hard to convince Howard to go back. It was nice meeting you. See you next time.

In reply to Chris Sieradzki:

Its fine down there, at least for the next couple of months, unless you go rolling around in the undergrowth!.

In reply to Choss:

9 of the Little Lyme disease carrying vampires is the count now. Was only there couple of hours.

If going, Leave fido at home, and Shorts Probably a bad idea.

In reply to Chris Sieradzki:


Hey, if youre going Back for your unfinished business, let me Know, i would like to see Round 2

In reply to Choss: I use front Line on my dog and it kills ticks Or use Advantics

In reply to joan cooper:


Yep, Treated her with ectoline last night, as well as pulling off the ones im finding. Shes beginning to smell of germolene.

In reply to Choss: Before we discovered Front line we used to cover the ticks with tooth paste ( not recommended now) she looked funny as we had different coloured toothpaste! and a spotty dog.
